So I have to say, Dezzi is growing like crazy. I am not sure if the growth rate is normal or if they go through spurts or not, I have had him a little over a month now and it seems every few days he'll gain a several grams.
Here is the recorded weights for him:
8/22/2015: 45 grams (Length: 2.5")
8/31/2015: 52 grams
9/4/2015: 55 grams
9/15/2015: 59 grams
9/26/2015: 62 grams
9/29/2015: 69 grams (2.75")
10/2/2015: 73 grams
I am keeping his enclosure with high humidity. 80+, temps are correct, he gets soaked every day to every other day. He's eating a varied diet which can include the following: spring mix, kale, tortoise grass mix (grown from seed), opuntia, Mazuri (3x/week), dandelion greens and occasionally romaine.
So back to my question... Is it still considered pyramiding if the growth rings (I think that's what they are referred to) around the scutes are growing above the scutes themselves? It's almost like he's growing too fast. If this is the case I believe the LS vs. of Mazuri can help slow their growth (per the manufactures) so I may need to switch.
Here are some photos to help see what I am talking about.
